Replacing   from javascript dom text node

by

This is much easier than you’re making it. The text node will not have the literal string " " in it, it’ll have have the corresponding character with code 160.

function replaceNbsps(str) {
  var re = new RegExp(String.fromCharCode(160), "g");
  return str.replace(re, " ");
}

textNode.nodeValue = replaceNbsps(textNode.nodeValue);

UPDATE

Even easier:

textNode.nodeValue = textNode.nodeValue.replace(/\u00a0/g, " ");
